A phospholipidcholesterol membrane model has recently been described whose electrical conductance, water content and water permeability can reversibly be lowered by CaCL or increased by KC1 (Tobias et al., '62; Leitch et al., '64). These properties mimic certain cell behavior often attributed to the
